From Your Parish Administrator
Zechariah encourages the inhabitants of Jerusalem to sing joyfully for they are to be visited by a man of peace. So to speak, Israel's king will arrive not as a symbol of war but on the back of a colt or a donkey as a symbol of gentleness. Jesus in the Gospel passage this weekend brings to light, independence from the tyranny of Rome and tyranny of the Jewish legal conformities. He offers to His disciples and all who follow Him now, you and me, a unity of heart, a freedom to know and receive our truth and the prosperity of the abundant graceful life. Consequently, we find rest for our souls in making our personal declarations of dependence on Him alone who is true and freeing, peaceful and gentle on our souls.

Holy Name Prayer Line
|
The Holy Name Prayer Line is a group of 30+ parishioners (called the Prayer Line Partners) who pray for anyone who is in need of prayers for any reason. It could be an illness, loss of a loved one, etc., or a special intention. We invite you to share your prayer needs by calling Ann at the rectory (733-5823). You don’t even have to give us your name – just who (first name only, or you can say a woman, a man, a parishioner) the group would pray for and a very brief reason (i.e., surgery, illness, special intention, etc.) for the request. We compile a daily list (Monday through Friday) and email it to the partners who have emails, and it is called in to those who do this by phone (first person calls the second, and so on). Please contact Ann at the rectory, 733-5823, if you think you would like to join the group. Thank you.
